Helen

Helen and Haggis first appeared on the Girls Run Too website over two years ago when Helen wrote about their coast to coast adventure with Skedaddle. Helen is also responsible for some of the clothing reviews on the website. Friendly, fun and witty we are delighted that Helen has agreed to send us slightly more regular updates of their exploits.
Helen and Haggis, enjoy!

Helen Curtis - who?
Helen

In the corporate stylie...
Helen Curtis hails from a London Borough, very often aligned to Essex.
She currently resides in Suburbia, which easy access to a canal, and not much else of any interest, with one resident off-spring, a partner, and 1 or 2 step-sprogs.

From Suburbia, she commutes to her beloved place of work where her role varies from Junior Project Manager, to Morale Officer with occasional bouts of Customer relationship management (there's a story or two to tell, bear with me, they may yet be revealed!).
Helen tries desperately hard to complete this journey on her coloquially known Haggis: a Scott Sportster P3, which to the less nerdy out there is a hybrid bike - a little suspension, slightly rugged, but nice big slick tyres for speed. The Daniel Craig of bikes perhaps? However Helen is frequently hindered by apathy, the clash of school runs, and the painful fact that stilettos are not pedal compatible.

To this end, Helen hones her cycling skills at the weekend, and in the spinning studio - the latter of which is not quite as conducive for the post ride food favourite of Sunday lunch, taken either at a conveniently placed public house, or back in the bosom of her family (who of course she will have coerced in to joining her on said trek).


Helen aspires to juggle life, work, family and a rather nifty water bottle, whilst setting off the speed camera on the last downhill stretch of the London to Brighton. OK, so she dreams too.
Helen admires anyone who knows nature provides it's own Prozac, in the form of an adrenaline fuelled session. Hate Nike, love their slogan - Just do it!
